question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his appearance on the Andrew Marr Show on 11 November 2018, what the evidential basis was for his statement that the funding for the average class of 27 children in primary school is £132,000.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) produces analysis of long range trends in school spending. This average class funding figure is based on the underlying data from the IFS’s 2017 report, converted into 2018-19 prices using the GDP deflator, which gives a per-pupil funding figure for primary schools of £4,891.41 in 2018-19. The full report is available here: <a href="https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/8937" target="_blank">https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/8937</a>.</p><p> </p><p>This has been multiplied by 27 to generate the average class figure. The average class size for a primary school is 27.1, according to the January 2018 school census available here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/719226/Schools_Pupils_and_their_Characteristics_2018_Main_Text.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/719226/Schools_Pupils_and_their_Characteristics_2018_Main_Text.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Changes in predicted trends in inflation and the IFS’ methodology mean that this analysis may produce slightly different figures over time. The funding that individual schools receive through their local funding formulae and the pupil premium will vary depending on the characteristics of the pupils in each class.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 19/11/2018 17:15:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Department’s reforms have given schools more flexibility regarding pay and therefore the cost of implementing the 2018 pay award for an individual school will depend on the choices made by schools. It will be determined by decisions about structure and pay that they have made in previous years, and decisions they will make about their staffing for the 2018/19 academic year.</p><p>As such, it is not possible to calculate the exact amount of funding each school will spend in implementing the pay award.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 05/11/2018 09:27:39 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
